Wicked: For Good Worldwide Box Office: Closing In On James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Wicked: For Good, directed by Jon M. Chu, is on the verge of completing six weeks in the theaters. Grossing an impressive $507.4 million worldwide, this haul places the musical fantasy sequel among the top 300 highest-grossing films of all time. It ranks the film as the 13th biggest global release of 2025, trailing just behind The Fantastic Four: First Steps ($521.9 million). However, overtaking the first Wicked film’s $758.8 million worldwide total now appears unlikely, as the sequel would need to earn approximately $251.4 million more to reach that milestone.

At the same time, the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo starrer has enjoyed a strong global run, recently surpassing the worldwide earnings of several popular titles, including Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Ghost, Aladdin, Rio 2, and Troy. The musical sequel is now closing in on the worldwide box-office total of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, James Cameron’s iconic 1991 sci-fi blockbuster. Here’s a closer look at how much more Wicked: For Good needs to earn globally to surpass Terminator 2 at the worldwide box office.
